We may ako for our selves venture to ask the Noble Earl, who:se i- Vafe elittracCer we hold high reriert, what he would have thought it Governibent had neglected fo adcipt the 'very measures ivhich he now con densns, after the strong ier'ini in • Which he had expressed his sense of the dastgers impending froth the Violence of a ditring multitude, ionstant iy increisini; in numbers, and prompted by the most Sedition's and rebellious designs ? Whaesn Mitch noise has been Made about Oliver and Co. none Of whom gave any information to Government, until April, 1617, it is worthy of remark, that Earl Fitz so early as DeerMber, in the preceding year, con cludes a communication to Cover - i - Oita, on the state of this district, by stating it t,) be hiS birdship's convictiou, that a conspiracy was organiiced, the leaders of which contemplated nothing less than a complete overthrow of the tiornnient. - -- The Noble Earl added, that the conspiracy was not the effect of distress, want of employment, scarcity or dearness of pro visions; but was the offspring of a revolutionary spirit! It is said, that notwithstanding this official declaration of his opinion, as to the state of the country, and the views of the Conspirators, his Lordship did not think the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act necessary ; meaning, we presume, that his Lordship thought any insurrection might have been put down by military force, and its authors punished by the ordinary powers of the law. " Allowing to this alleged change of opinion by Earl Fitz williatn all the weight to which it is entitled, still it ought :to be remembered that his Lordship's knowledge was necesi sarily confined to the danger likely to arise from the unsound state of this district; and that if his Majesty's Government were furnished with similar authentic information as to the state of other districts, the view which they were thus enabled to take of the whole extent of the disaffection, might impe riously demand those salutary measures of prevention, which some might think disproportioned to the degree of danger to be apprehended front the threatening aspect of one disaf fected quarter only. " Further:—His Lordship at least pronounces that a settled determination existed to attempt - the complete overthrow of the Government. If he thinks the suspensi.in of the Habeas Corpus was unnecessary, because it was improbable that so -chimerical an attempt could have any chance of success, there is no one, we believe, who will dispute the accuracy - of his conclusion. But, if ins Lordship means that the tranquil lity of the country has been -purchased at a dearer price, by a short suspension of the Constitution, than by the employ nrent wf military force fur the defeat of open rebellion, we can only congratulate the country, that Government and the Legislature thought otherwise. If the Suspension Act has saved but one family from butchery, one home from demoli tion, or even one criminal from the commission of offences which Would have forfeited his life to the Law (to say nothing of its having perhaps preserved entire villages, towns, and districts, from desolation and' bloodshed—from rapine, and fires,. and plunder—from .all ; the horrors of civil war)—we think we can assure his Lordship that the peaceable people of those districts, -so threatened, according to his Lordship's own shewing, cannot but rejoice that any Legislative mea sure was found sufficient to avert such dreadful calamities, and that they would have had just ground of complaint against their 'Rulers, if they had been left exposed to all these treaters, rather than a law should be passed enabling Government to take some thirty of the wretches, who medi tated so much mischief, into safe keeping. " Lastly—Whatever may be the present sentiments of Earl Fitzwilliam, it is quite cledr, from prooft furnished by him self, that a traitorous conspiracy existed in this district be fore the, end of the year 18 If; ; and therefore we trust he is prepared, as a Peer of Parliament, to declare that " plots and conspiracies" existed previous to the appearance of Oliver in the ensuing spring, and that they did . not apt ing up, as the good and worthy souls who have esca,.ed the halter would make us believe, me ely wheresoever the footsteps of that Government Agent could be traced." - We cannot conclude this article more properly than by the following observations on the con duct Of OPPOSITION, which exactly coincide with our own' opinions. They are taken from The (Dublin) Correspondent of the 14th instant, ano ther loyal and spirited Journal, the. Editor of which, as a sound Politician and a real Patriot, may well make the Opposition Writers of- this Metropolis " hide their diminished heads" with spleen and envy. " The Opposition in Parliament seem more anxious to re present the discontented minority of the public, than the people at large, if their partialities may be inferred from the eltaracter and course of their political hostility. All their motions appear destined to incomnoule those, whose vigour and wisdom have succeeded in rebuking the frantic spirit of democracy, in preserving itiviolate.t he sauctuary of the Con stitntion, and in yoking down the Fiend of Revolution, by the , main strength of its laws. If any judgment may be rested upon such' precarious foundations, many of the Opposition do not seem unwilling to comfort, if possible, the baffled and defeated zealots in Reform, that are nut yet reclaimed from their phrerizies, by endeavouring to embarrass, in every possible way, the Ministry, to which those refractory and pertinacious spirits owe so much of their disappointment. Though another sort of conduct would rellonnd more to the honour of any political party, yet, after all, the public have no great reason to he dejected. It is much better to stm the Opposition unreasonable and. impolitic, and all the aspirants after Revolution foaming in mortification and rase, than to see the noblest country that ever flourished, the finest race that ever conferred honour upon human ',attire, plunged into a bottomless abyss of uproar and blood, and groping their way, during a night of crimes, after the ignis fainns of Jacobin philosophy. We hope the public may comfort them selves, as they real our reports of those debates, with the coosciousness of the causes to which they owe their present escape from the misery and w6e, towards which so many stimulants were endeavouring to dr;ve thew but a few months ago." 2 0 E T Y.

HORRID OUTRAGR.—OD the night of Saturday last, some mousters in human share broke into the house of Michael Flatly, resident at Water park, near Castle-Connell, county of Limerick, when they drageed: him from the bed, and %ebb huiyes laid open the flesh on the front of the arms, and with anatomical precision drew the reeking sinews from their place—they then pro ceeded to chop the fingers from the hands, and with remorseless, unrelenting cruelty, tore the tongue .from its root.

The Title of the %Volk, is cer tainly a misiminer',,for instead of a Delicate Inquiry it is luenS e non lucendo„ as the Author is very tree and very rough in his tootle of discussing the asihiect. lle treats both ,of the ,Embassies to China, that of Earl AIACARTNSCY in 1792, and the last of Lord AM 41IST, with jocose but bitter re . Adverting to the Work, lately published on this subject, ,writteu by HeNkY Ebbs, Esq. Third Commissioner of the 'Embassy, he aniniad yetis, not without reason, on the imPropriety of an avowal on the part of that Author, that " as he undertook: the voyage to those distant seas more for profit than reputation', he cannot but re gret that , he has lost the opportunity - of bringing' his rentureint the Mallet." That a Gentleman, engaged in a Missioo of national honour, consti turinvpart of the representative dignity of his Sovereign, should hare'Cornbined with it the spe culation of a Trader, seems rather extraordinary ; 'hut it seems still tom e extraordinary that he sitotild have made no scruple to acknowledge such a pur pose, particularly as it had miscarried, and muse queotly'need not have been brought to light at all. Oor P4icate laiptirer continents on a passage of Mr. EL ers's book which states, chat when Ho; one of the Chinese Ministers, had conveyed a threat in an unddr tone, ". Mr. MoaßisoN , with his usual good sense, declined communicating" the nature of that threat. Surely this was a very improper suppression, and Mr. MoutalsoN took a heavy re sponsibility upon himself by the concealment ; for if he had communicated folly what had been thus menaced, the Ambassador might have beers better able to judge of the temper and expecta tion of the Court of China, otherwise he must have wanted a sufficient due, and might indeed, as Ho signified, have drawn himself " into an em barrassing situation," either from too confident a hope of success, or too , apprehensive an expecta tion of conseqael.ces. Our author,. we conceive, assumes too much in coucloding that the expense attending both Embassies demonstrated improvi dence on the part of the East India Company, or of the British Government, in hazarding a second mission, after the failore of the first. Surely the Directors of the East India Company must know more than our author of their own affairs, pod of the interests of the Corn; arty, than to incurs such an expense, if the Company me to pay it, without the hope or probability of deliving great advan tages front success. Jr is known that Eat I A KTN EN' did not in reality offend the late Empe ror, by rejecting the humiliating homage required of rind that he excited the respect of the Ciiinese people by his refusal. Nor is it to be interred that the Earl, in propoiing to consent Lo. the Kohut, the prost tations and the knockings of the head on the pound, provided . that a Chinese Nohleuifin, of 'equal rank with himself, would t'o the sante before a whole-length portrait of his Majesty, acted otherwise thaii as a skilful politi cian, for he had reason to believe that the cere monious pomp and haughty pride of the Chitiese Emperor would at once reject the proposal, amid consequently that he ran no risk of being exposed to the degrading necessity. Now as to the vast expense attending these Embassies, of wive') our author complains, was not the money circulated among ourselves, our artizans mployed, and an opportunity afforded of shewing the ingenuity and taste of our country It is no lona of wisdom to judge merely by events. It is highly probable that, the Bast India Directors and the British Go verment, in both cases, had a grek object in .View, which might have produced consequences emillently advantageous to our commercial inte rests. Recurring to Mr. Ews's work, Ave think, with The Quarterly Review, which has given a ju dicious, candid, and elaborate account of that work, that " a Diplomatist is invested with a trust which he is bound to depiort in those hands tram which he originally received it ; he is not at 'liberty to lay before the public the details of his official employment ; much less heedlessly to fling over them a cast of undue -contempt." As to the author of this brochure, he is evidently ' ' a man of wit and humour about town," and he has given way to his facetious vein, without perhaps mean ing any thing more than to have a laugh at the late Embassy.; and though he offers some sound argu ments, they are mixed with such a spirit of ban ter, that it is not at all times easy to ascertain his meaning. He has introduced some historical anecdotes, which render Ilk tract, upon the whole, eutertainiog, if his reasoning is not altogether of the most satisfactory -description. FATAL BoxiNG.—On the evening of Satin-11a? last, a battle .or fight took place, on board his Majesty's frigate Ister, lying at present in Leith Roads, between John Simpson and Jan.e, Cunningham, two of the seamen ; in the course of which, - after - fighting for a considerable time, Cunningham fell and died instantaneously.--. 0 He was a fine looking young man, about twenty two years of age, very tall, and able-botlied. Simpson is a little man, upw'ards of lot ty. They had formerly lived together on the hest terms, hot were intoxicated at the time. Simpson . was good deal More so than the deceased.
